...Aggies four lead-off batters are their most dependable hitters, and of these Lent and Davis can well be counted on to secure extra bases. The fielding throughout the season has been remarkably clean; especially was this noticeable in the game with Rhode Island State, when, despite the muddy field and the steady rain, the M. A. C. players made only one error. On the pitching staff Brigham and Collins are both reliable. The former is the more brilliant, but will probably not start today, on account of a split hand received while knocking down a hard liner...

For the power and speed of the Princeton crew has been grossly underestimated and it was against the nominal world champions...
...Orange and Black showed that the yearlings were good. The boats started at about 40 and soon dropped, Harvard in 32 and Princeton to about 34. At the half-mile mark the Harvard yearlings had aboved ahead by a full length and Amory was settling into a clean, easy stroke. Behind him his men were all doing well, especially Hamilton at 6, whose work together with Amory's won high commendation from the coaches. A tendency to take the stroke away from Amory and hurry it slightly was the only marring feature. At the mile mark there was a length...
